Research facilities

St George's has a number of cutting edge facilities to assist researchers and students within the university and St George's Healthcare NHS Trust. These are also available to external organisations and collaborators.

The Medical Biomics Centre at St George’s is the world's first purpose-built clinical and biomedical research facility to combine genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics on a clinical site. It provides the technology to carry out out integrated analysis of the molecular basis of complex disease processes. The state-of-the-art facilities allow researchers to assist in the development of novel diagnostics, in the identification of new therapeutic targets, and in increasing our understanding of the pathophysiology of disease.

The centre is open for use by students as well as researchers. More information can be found at the Biomics website.

The St George’s Clinical Research Facility, run jointly with our partner St George’s Healthcare NHS Trust, is a custom-built centre that provides physical facilities and nursing and administrative support to facilitate high-quality research programmes and clinical trials. The facility is open for use by university and trust staff, as well as students and other organisations.

The Analytical Unit is a research and service laboratory at St George’s that provides specialist analytical services for basic research studies, drug development, and the diagnosis and treatment of disease. As well as providing analytical services for research projects and clinical trials, the unit is also involved in forensic toxicology screening, and provides services for pathologists, coroners and solicitors.
